James Storrie (7 February 1885 — 23 July 1951) was a Scottish first-class cricketer.

Storrie was born at Hawick in February 1885. A club cricketer for Hawick and Wilton, he was appointed captain in 1915 and continued to captain the team into the late 1930s, at which point he was over-50 years of age.[1][2] Storrie had represented Scotland in two first-class cricket matches in 1911, against Ireland at Glasgow and the touring Indians at Galashiels.[3] He scored 53 runs in his two matches, with a highest score of 26,[4] and took a single wicket.[5] Considered one of the most outstanding personalities in the history of cricket in Hawick,[6] Storrie passed away in his home town on 23 July 1951 following a long illness.[7] His brother, Walter, was also a first-class cricketer.
